Gameplay feels just a little bit different since the patch, hard to explain but the AI seem to hold onto the ball better and pass it backwards and sideways more, especially under pressure, just feels a little less loose on the ball too. Very weird.

If anything, it's much less fluid and more random to me. Seems much more unforgiving in terms of control too, with players not controlling the ball properly if sprinting. They haven't fixed the biased refs either!

Still no sign of an updated data pack. Shambles. Quite like the short-cut to getting online with the patch. At least I think that's what it is, it's as clear as mud generally.

Lots of moaning that the gameplay has changed, with through balls not as effective. Seemed to play a bit different to me, as I say, but not the extent some over at PESFan are saying. Happens every single update

When I last ventured in before I started using the smoke patch it was you got drawn against people of similar skill and team strength however if you get drawn against a team stronger than you you get more money. It also cost you money to enter a match so people who rage quit all the time eventually run out of money so it's actually pretty good.

Don't think so, it's just transfers, more boots etc. so shouldn't do. Am now DL the latest OF from paul2478. Still bemused by the stripey sleeves of the Arsenal kit and plain white socks. Will flag it up to him at some point
